Reflection Technique

Reflection Technique

Stamp your image on white cardstock. If it’s an outline image to be colored in, emboss with clear EP.
Stamp the same image of a piece of vellum cut to size. If stamping with black, it’s best to use the black archival pad because it’s a darker black. Then emboss with clear EP.
Color in image on CS.

Before coloring in the vellum, lay it down at the bottom of the stamped image to be sure that you do have the mirror image of the one above. Then flip it over and color the back side.

Attach the vellum right under the original stamped image with a thin line of mono adhesive going all the way across in one solid line.

It’s best to camouflage the edge of the vellum with liquid appliqué or glitter.

Dryer Sheet and Glitter

Dryer Sheet Background with Glitter

Stamp your background using fairly dark or bright colors.

When completely stamped, put the piece in a box in a well ventilated area or outside and spray the top of your CS with a spray adhesive. Don’t get it too wet. If it’s too wet and comes through the dryer sheet, you will have a big mess.

Immediately, cover with a USED dryer sheet and smooth out all wrinkles and make sure all edges are adhered.

You may trim the edges flush or wrap around the back and glue in place.

Immediately place your piece face up on some sort of tray or protected area where excess glitter can be picked back up.

Apply glitter to the entire top of your dryer sheet and rub in.

Pick up and tap off all excess glitter. You may also use a brush to brush off all excess glitter.

Depending on the background and the look you are going for, you could just use the dryer sheet and eliminate the glitter.

Not all dryer sheets are the same. Some may give you a nicer look. Experiment with different brands.

Double Pocket Fold

Step One: Fold the paper in half, from long-side to long side. Open paper.

Step Two: Fold the paper in half again from the other side (from "short-side" to "short-side"). Open paper. There are now 4 quadrants.

Step Three: Use trimmer to cut the paper on the fold on one of the long sides (should be 5-1/2" from each edge, at center). Cut down to the center point, where the folds meet.

Step Four: Turn paper so that the long ends are vertical. Fold the bottom right corner so that the edge meets the edge of the center vertical fold.

Step Five: Fold the top left corner so that there is 1-1/2" from the edge of the folded cardstock and the center vertical fold (this is a smaller fold than the one at the bottom).

Step Six: Fold the entire top left quadrant over at the fold until it meets the other side of the paper.

Step Seven: Fold the left bottom quadrant under the left right quadrant.

Step Eight: Fold the right bottom corner up to match the first fold.

Step Nine: Use adhesive to attach all loose edges. Decorate tags and outer edges of the card as desired. This card does NOT open - the tags and items used to fill the pockets are the "card."

DESK CADDY
SUPPLIES:
(1) 12” x 12” Cardstock
(1) each 12x12 B&T Duo paper, two patterns
(2) 18”pieces of ribbon. May also use just one piece.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Score the 12x12 cardstock at 4” & 8”. Turn and score again in the
Opposite direction at 4” & 8”. You now have 9 scored squares.

Score the CORNER squares diagonally, from point towards center of paper.

Cut four 3 ¾” squares of B&T Duo paper. Mount on each of the four solid squares centered.

Cut four 3 ¾” squares of other pattern B&T Duo Paper. Cut each
Diagonally to form triangles. Mount on the diagonally-scored squares centered.

Punch holes in each of the four points. You may add eyelets if you want. Embellish as desired.
Fold on all score lines. Crease well.

TWO OPTIONS HERE!
1. Thread ribbon from outside to inside on two opposite points. Then thread them from the inside
to outside on other two points. Pull together and tie in bow.
2. Thread one length of ribbon through two points diagonally across caddy.
Thread other the opposite direction. Hold together and tie in bow.

Note 1: You may choose to spray with craft sealer before adding ribbon to give caddy some protection.
Note 2: placing something heavy in the bottom can help keep caddy from tipping over. Or, fill with
about ¾” deep of dried beans or peas can help pens stand upright.
To made an insert to hold small items, cut matching cardstock 3 7/8” x 8”. Score long side at 3 3/8”
and adhere that side to the inside of a solid side. Pull the loose end towards the middle about 2 ¼” and
using a strong adhesive, attach the corners to the sides.

These can be used on a desk, or wrap plastic utensils in a napkin & place a band of matching B&T
around to hold them together and fill for a picnic. How about filling it with candy or make an Easter
basket out of it. Make matching note pads, a pen, Jumbo embellished paper clips. You can even put
photos on the solid side. You are only limited by your imagination!
